If you have ever wondered why people do the things they do, then the Psychology Online – Level 3 Course is for you!
Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour and so in this course you will discover how psychologists have come a long way in understanding human behaviour and the mental processes that underlie our actions.
The course has been written by Dr Matthew Smith and Elizabeth Ottley. Matthew Smith is a former Associate Professor of Psychology at Liverpool Hope University with nearly 20 years’ experience of teaching and research in Psychology. His work in the media even included a stint as the resident psychologist/parapsychologist on the television show Most Haunted. Elizabeth Ottley is a postgraduate student in Psychology. On successful completion of the home study courses students will receive a recognised level 3 Diploma Certificate (Comparable to working at A Level or NVQ Level 3).
The programme aims to show:
-
How scientists have studied the mind, brain and behaviour
-
How our understanding of the world develops as we grow up
-
How much we are influenced by other people
-
How our thoughts and actions are related to brain activity
-
How memory works, why we forget, and how to improve your memory
-
How psychologists explain personality and intelligence
-
How psychology can be applied in the real world.
Key Features of the Psychology Online Course are:
-
Setting the scene’ boxes: These describe relevant, and sometimes surprising, case studies that illustrate points that are made in the main text.
-
‘From the archives’ boxes: These make reference to key research studies published in academic journals. These bring you into contact with the methods and procedures used by psychologists to test and develop their theories.
-
‘Have a go’ boxes: These encourage active learning, in which you are more involved and engaged in the learning process.
-
Targeted suggestions for further reading.
The course is divided into seven modules. In each module you are introduced to the main theories associated with that area of psychology. Modules 2-6 are each separated into a Part A and a Part B to aid understanding.
